MC Spyda Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It would be difficult to draw the comparison without mentioning the word wouldn’t it. Well no point in telling me you wasn't talking about it when you pretty much were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublesix Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Luckier than those that got no increase in their wage at all last year or this ………….. its relative. as you rightly say this thread is about benefits not wages there again I would imagine someone who works for a living and was offered £3 a week pay rise would have a few choice words to say on the subject,just think if Thatcher had not rid the country of those terrible union men the minimum wage would not have raised its ugly, demeaning head.

Grandad.Malky Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Well no point in telling me you wasn't talking about it when you pretty much were. Ok this is getting a bit silly, I was talking about benefits being index linked ……….there you go no mention of wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scozzie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 But you state that you are very glad never to shop at Primark again?? that isn't beig materialistic, it is called being clothed. Yes Scozzie, how dare you want clothes that stay in shape and don't come undone at the seams after one wash. How DARE you... Sorry. I guess I could walk around with poorly fitting clothes with holes down the sides and thick, white thread unravelling with every step....... having said that, I've just blown £100 on holiday clothes from Primark, Asda and Tesco. (I hope they last me 3 weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said many haven’t had a pay rise for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublesix Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Like I said many haven’t had a pay rise for two years. And like I said...just think if Thatcher etc etc I can just imagine the miners and steel workers agreeing to work without a pay rise at that time makes you wonder about the intestinal fortitude of current workers who do agree to work in that capacity...as Miriam Carlin used to say...Everybody Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghozer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You put internet access as a higher priority than food? They weren't in priority order, I just typed them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably if someone offered you £150 extra a year you'd decline it then would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
